Castello di Bolgheri 2019 Varvàra
Italian Red
Cabernet Sauvignon leads the blend, supported by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Handpicked fruit is selected again before destemming, then handled gently through pump-overs and matured in 500-litre barrels. The vines occupy a sea-facing hill around 70 metres above sea level, rooted in calcareous clay, sand and limestone. Fruit remains central, with refreshing spice and a full-bodied, expressive palate.

Black cherry, blackberry and plum appear with sweet spice, dark chocolate and a fresh profile. The palate is well structured, with soft tannins, and the aftertaste is long and filled with fruit and spice. The vineyard lies less than one kilometre from the sea on red aeolian sands, between twenty and eighty metres above sea level, with a western aspect in coastal Tuscany.
